The Dark series by Sonja Stone consists of two YA spy thrillers published in 2016 and 2018. Desert Dark introduces a secret government training facility in the Arizona desert where teenagers are selected for covert operations training. The setting combines boarding school dynamics with espionage — classmates are also potential rivals, and the curriculum includes skills that most teenagers only see in movies.

Dark Divide continues the story with the academy’s secrets starting to surface and the recruits forced to decide where their loyalties actually lie. The duology is a complete arc, with the two books telling a single story about trust, deception, and the cost of being useful to people with power.
